King Ranch leather cleaning

This post is to any of my fellow king ranch owners. What do you clean your leather with???? I need to know for everything but am mainly concerned with the steering wheel . Seems to show where i hold on to it. Seem like it needs to be oiled or something???

I use the Armour All Leather Cleaner. My seats look amazing after 1.5 years. I've also used it on every other car that had leather. It's good stuff.

don't really know what to do about the steering wheel. my leather is black and doesn't show anything

Get yourself a can of saddle soap for the steering wheel. It will remove all the dirt and oils from your hands. I use a carnauba wax on my leather seats. (Any of the Dr. Jackson's products) Not as slippery, and it has a cleaning effect also. I would ESPECIALLY use it on the king ranch leather as it's saddle leather, which is what I used to work with once upon a time. Check out http://www.eleathersupply.com/conditioners.shtml
for the carnauba waxes, and in the meantime, grab a can of saddle soap to clean off the steering wheel.

Hope that helps!!

another option is Ivory soap. it is 99% pure ( ie it is made from animal fats)
this was told to me by the lead of product development for seats at Johnson Controls, the maker of the king ranch ( and other seats) on teh f150
